Mo Salah provided a bizarre assist for Egypt less than 90 seconds into his country's Africa Cup of Nations opener against Mozambique on Sunday.

The Liverpool forward attempted to shoot with a volley from the center of the 18-yard box but a rare miskick resulted in the ball falling to teammate Mostafa Mohamed.

Nantes striker Mohamed then turned sharply before firing a fine low shot into the net from near the penalty spot.

Goals from Witi and Clesio after half-time saw Mozambique take a shock 2-1 lead.

Mozambique appeared to be on course for what would have been a first ever AFCON win before Salah rescued a 2-2 draw for Egypt by scoring a 97th-minute penalty.

Salah has now scored seven goals in 18 AFCON appearances.
